I know your problem is when you fill the gas their are more particals
of debree in the gas you buy, so it should be filtered through a piece
of cheese- clouth, or a funnel with a strainer in it. To help with
your problem you must drain all the gas lines and take off the fuel
bowl, which is a round copper, or painted bowl with a couple of screws
on the bottom for the high speed adjustment and air mixture, and also
empty gas tank and fill with a fresh filtered gas. When you take the
bowl off you should see little particals of dirt or tiny rocks. good
luck henry. If you need help,

It's a mighty good thing you told the OP to use cheese "clouth" to snag
those nasty "particals of debree." No telling when he'd get his whacker
started without it....
